CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Indiscipline
is one of the major problems hindering the normal development of youths in the
society especially students in post primary schools. Indiscipline as it
concerns achievement of educational goals, has received a lot of attention.
Edem (2001)states
that indiscipline is the violation of school rules and regulations which is
capable of obstructing the smooth and orderly functioning of the school system
should be consequently avoided through perfect orientation of students and
imposition of positive sanction in case of obvious violation of the order.
Indiscipline
is the inability of students and/or teachers to respect authority observe and
obey school rules and regulations. It is also a social disorder which hampers a
high standard of behaviour conducive to maintenance of teaching learning
process.
Nwanna (2005)
carried out a study of the major offences committed by students in some schools
in the Western region and found that some of the most frequently committed
offences include stealing, lying, bulling, lateness to school, rioting,
cruelty, absence and truancy.
Soya (2006) in
his study found that students these days
block the school entrance thereby preventing others, the
principal and staff gaining entrance into the school premises. Such was another
form of indiscipline behavior exhibited by youths these days. This act is
termed socially as maladjusted. Some of the disciplinary measures adopted by
the various school authorities are canning, suspension, manual labor,
expulsion, deprivation of privileges etc.
Indiscipline is like a cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabrics of the society. It breeds lawlessness and lawlessness brings crime, and consequently self-destruction. Indiscipline in schools contributes to lack of success in one’s life, if allowed to linger on for a long time. It is in this view of the above that the researcher was moved to carry out this study.
